Really nice experienceNice people who can speak good English!
Fun and rewarding experienceMaking my own chopsticks! My instructor Chiqui was really great at explaining the steps and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend!
Very nice experienceNot that easy job, especially when you choose hard wood. But chopsticks come finally very elegant … with help of the staff. Special thanks to Shino who was very patient, helpful and positive.
